Chapter 36

"no, only some specific special persons" he grinned
"and you are one of those special persons?" Olivia laughed
"I have been occupied with special people, I am adapting and I am beginning to act like them" he teased and she laughed
"well let's be serious" Adam said to the couples as he had been so moody since Jupiter had disappeared and hadn't return. The couples peeped at him and became quiet, they didn't want to add more issues to his already troubled heart. They walked closer to the room but they all realized Jupiter scent had become stronger like she was around or in the room, they hurried curiously and Adam immediately pushed the door open for everyone.
"Jupiter!" they all exclaimed in surprise and hurried at her, Jupiter blinked simultaneously as she was scared they would all jump on her.
"wait!" she shouted but they didn't stop, the two queen actually got to her first, hugging her so close to themselves and she felt she was suffocating, she struggled to breath and finally they released her and it didn't stop there, the other came after her. Seth and Olivia jumped on her, both asking her different questions that she couldn't answer.
"she needs space" Adam shouted and they quickly let her go after realizing she was so clustered. When they released her, she met Adam teary face and she hurriedly ran to him, hugging him tightly with tears in her own eyes "I was scared Jupiter, I thought..."
"shhhhh!!!" she mutes him with her fingers and replaced it with her lips, it was the first time she had been apart from him for so long and she missed him so much already "I am here now, and I you won't lose me"
He held her tightly and not letting her go and she didn't want to leave his comforting arms. They others waited for the couples to finish their romantic scene as their eyes were on Selina who sat on the bed with Kenny and mercury beside her, she had been watching the scene and she loved the happiness she saw. The family were so happy and it was really a big one.
"where is father and uncle Jordan?" Jupiter asked him almost in a whisper
"they are at the forest with the vampires and the wolves and I think they are beginning the plan about the war" Adamanswered and she bowed her head on his shoulder.
"what happened Jupiter?" queen Laura asked as she walked back to Jupiter and stood beside her
"he took me with him, though I choose to go with him so he doesn't hurt you all. I tried to earn his trust and promised to work with him if he let me return to you" she answered
"you did what?" mercury asked in disbelief
"it was the only way I could have escaped and also save you all" Jupiter answered and bit her lips
"it's fine Jupiter" queen irine gave her an assuring smile and her eyes moved to Selina "who is she?"
"her name is Selina and she was the personal maid he gave to me" Jupiter replied
"can she be trusted?" Adam asked and she nodded
"then it's fine, she can stay in your room" queen Laura said to Jupiter
"thank you, ma" Selina whispered and Jupiter pointed at Laura
"this is my mother, the witch queen and this is queen irine, my adoptive mother" Jupiter said and pointed at queen irine. "and I have Adam, my boyfriend. Olivia is my best friend and Seth is a human and a very good friend"
Jupiter had introduced all of them to her but Selina stared at Seth, he didn't look or smell like human but she ignored it since they said Jupiter said he was human.
"and where is mars, Venus and dawn?" Jupiter asked curiously
"mars is with father too, Venus and dawn have been taking a walk round the kingdom, he so loves Venus colorful room and doesn't want to leave there" queen irine smiled and Jupiter laughed slightly as she was relieved that they were all save and there was no bad news.
"what if we leave for the mermaid kingdom now?" queen Lauraasked and their eyes widen
"sure!" Seth was the first to answer as the others nodded in excitement
"then Kenny could help us call the others. We are all going on this vacation together, no one would be left out" queen Laurasmiled at them.
"of course" Kenny said and quickly rushed out with his vampire speed and they all laughed.
"do you think he trust you?" mercury asked Jupiter when Kenny had left "I meant your biological father"
"he can be easily deceived, he isn't so wise but just powerful" queen Laura answered and mercury nodded with a smile.
"I met the wolves who worked for the vampire king. I think they are siblings" Jupiter said to them
"did you find out any more things about them?" queen irine asked and Jupiter shook her head negatively
"they are always quiet. And they barely speak to anyone, they only go for duty when sent" Selina answered
"tell me Kenny is lying" king desmond said as he stepped into the room and his eyes met Jupiter "he wasn't"
Jupiter rushed to him and hugged him tightly, he held and her didn't want to let her go.
"I am so sorry Jupiter" he apologized "I am sorry I failed you. And i am sorry I hurt you"
"I am fine now, very fine father" she smiled at him and he nodded slightly
"I am so happy you are okay, I was scared too, I blamed myself for everything" he said and she smiled at him
"I understand but you're the best" she kissed his cheeks and moved to Venus, mars and dawn.
"you came back" dawn hugged her tightly and she ran her hands through his hair and he smiled
"I would always come back home; this is home" she smiled at him
"I knew you would always have a way" Venus smiled at her and she rose up to mars and Venus
"you miss me?" she teased and they both hugged her immediately
"I miss my baby sister" mars grinned at her and they all laughed, she turned to meet Jordan smiling at her
"welcome back Jupiter" he smiled and she nodded at him with a smile
"mom had decided that we go to the mermaid kingdom today, are you all ready?" Jupiter questioned with a smile on her face and the four people nodded excitedly.
"we should start going now" king Desmond said happily and the others laughed.
"how do we travel there?" Seth asked and immediately Selina glanced at him
"he's a vampire?" Selina asked suddenly and they all shook their head negatively
"he is a human and not a vampire" Olivia answered this time
"he smells like a vampire" Selina said to them and they frowned
"they have been saying that for days now, maybe because he's been too close to Kenny" mercury defended
"that's really not the point though, but it's totally fine" Selina smiled "am I coming with you all to the mermaid kingdom, I've never been anyway apart from the vampire mansion"
"then it's fine for you to come with us" Jupiter granted her the permission and the girl smiled excitedly.
"thank you my princess" Selina bowed
"I am Jupiter" Jupiter corrected and the girl bowed in apology
"so how do we travel?" mercury asked this time
"a portal is the best way to travel or we could teleport" queen Laura smiled at them and quickly turned to Jupiter "let's make a portal
"of course. You start" Jupiter smiled and the others waited excitedly as queen Laura immediately began to create a portal and then they could see a beach, they giggled happily. Jupiter added a hand and helped increase the building.
"get ready guys, we are landing in a different city" queen Laura teased
"it's vacation time" dawn screamed loudly as he stepped into the portal and the others followed suit laughing loudly.
They stepped into the cold, wavy environment. The sun was out, shining brightly down the earth but the wave of the sea sent chills down their spine. they looked around as they marveled at what they met.
"this is beautiful" Seth exclaimed in amazement as he took off his shoes and placed his feet on the cold, wet ground.
"it's more than beautiful, this is incredible and I am speechless" mercury said with a wide eye
"you're not speechless, you are talking" Adam rolled his eyes at her and she sent him a death glare.
"so are we here already?" Dawn asked curiously and queen Laura shook her head negatively.
"we would swim in" queen Laura answered as she demonstrated, pointing into the water and their eyes widen and she glared at them "I thought I told you all I swam into the water?"
"sure you did. But I can't swim" Kenny exclaimed and they all turned at him in surprise
"really?" mercury eye widens as she never had an idea that he couldn't swim
"yes, last time I tried I almost lost my life" he said to them and they all turned to stare at queen Laura, if she had other choices and way to take them into the water but she shook her head negatively and they all sighed.
"we can leave him then" Seth rolled his eyes and they all laughed
"we are not going to leave him here, I won't allow that" mercury defended with a frown and they laughed again.
"I am sorry Kenny but I'm going to make you unconscious" queen Laura said and even sent a spell at him and he collapsed into mercury's hand.
"so soon?" mercury asked as she allowed the unconscious Kenny rest on her arms. "can someone assist me? I can't carry this vampire, he got weight"
They laughed as Adam walked closer and helped Jupiter lift the man. And Jupiter raised her hands and casted a spell on Kenny and he floated upwards and Adam sighed in relieve.
"we would carry him this way, it's easier" Jupiter smiled and they turned back to queen Laura
"let's not wait any longer" queen irine said immediately with eagerness and the others laughed
"are we going in with our clothes?" Dawn asked and queen Laura nodded
"we are swimming with our clothes" queen Laura answered the boy
"You won't want to meet the mermaid queen naked" Selina teased and they laughed and then queen Laura walked into the water and they followed her immediately, soon the water had gotten to their waist level and they discussed among themselves.
"hope he won't die inside the water?" mercury exclaimed curiously
"no, he won't. the spell I used on him won't let him absorb water, so he is totally fine" queen Laura answered
"the water is on my neck already" dawn screamed in panic
"just breathe and everyone dive in at the count of three" king desmond said "one, two, and three"
They all dived into the water, and they swam deep into blue water, luckily the were fast swimmers, Seth held dawn so he could move faster and Jupiter controlled Kenny's body. Queen aura quickly created a portal and it showed them a very beautiful place, it was like a mansion and just immediately a mermaid appeared in front of them and they screamed in fear as they hadn't seen the mermaid coming earlier. And two more mermaids appeared before them with arrows, pointing their aim at them.
"neutralize them" the lead mermaid commanded and immediately the guard mermaid sent a strong wave at them and queen Laura quickly created an ice shield, protecting them from the attack.
"that wave could make us unconscious" queen Laura explained so they could defend their selves and they were all surprised she could speak in the water and immediately Seth tried to speak the water rushed down his mouth and he shut it immediately, gasping. And wave was sent and this time Jupiter joined in creating a stronger ice shield. And when the mermaids took a little break, Jupiter created and ice ball and sent it at them and they defended with the bow.
"it's going to be hard" queen Laura said and this time the mermaids heard her and they frowned, no humans could speak in the water and how could they easily create ice shield in the water. The mermaid made their ice ball this time and sent it at them and ball in the water and surrounded it by ice. She knew how to deal with things like this, it was their kingdom but she was going to show them what it meant to be a hybrid.
